So I signed up and my hopes were immediately dashed when I discovered they are metering access to their beta. You have to camp out on their activation site waiting for them to allot a few more activations. This sounded boring. So I decided to automate it with node of course. I fired up Sublime Text 2 and ripped this out.

I was sufficiently amused by this that I gisted it and posted to twitter. Funny thing is with in a minute I had been retweeted by Joshua Holbrook the support lead for Nodejitsu and got the following response from NodeKohai the IRC bot for the Nodejistu channel.

You see sometimes being a smart ass is a bonus. It gets you free things! Also here is a quick video showing the script in action.
